Do NOT give any personal information to them at all, because if you have won then they can just send you a check.

They are a real company, and winning money from them is legit. I have gotten checks from them myself (very small amounts). However, to actually win you have to log in everyday and pick numbers or sign up with thier service that automatically plays your numbers for you. The letters you are getting everyday (I get them too) say that you are a POSSIBLE winner. What that means is that you could possibly win, if your numbers are pulled, and to make sure that your numbers are pulled you should pay them to do it for you...
I log in and play every day for free, it's a pain but I have won (nowhere near a million....once I got a check for 36 cents). When you register with the site you give them your address, when you win they mail you a check - ignore the emails.

If the letters are post marked in the united states contact the u.s. postal service in Washington D.C.and send them the letters with an explanation as to what is going on. you may just get a form letter saying thank you for reporting this they will look into it if it is mail fraud. other wise ignore the letters its a scam.

Its most likely a scam. However, if you'd like to persue it for a little entertainment, just be sure to not release any sensitive info or send any money.
Bank account #s, even the name of your bank, your social security #, credit card names or #s, or any online payment methods should be kept private. Do not share any of this info with them.
I recently had some guy from Benin, West Africa contact me because he said he wanted to give me $150,000.00. He wanted me to send him $100.00 for postage to mail me the check.
I told him if he mailed it himself, I'd reimburse him $10,000.00.
But he wouldn't do it.
So I told him I'd have freinds who live near him (I do have freinds nearby) pick it up. That was the last I heard from him. He was just scamming.

Freelotto is actually legit
however, you have to watch adds every day to enter
If you haven't been doing that, then you haven't won anything

If you didn't actually enter the contest, then you can't win anything from it. It is a scam.

It's fake. A scam. Use it to light your fireplace.
